February 2017 – Newsletter
Greetings from Ronald F. Wittmeyer, Jr., Denise J. Adams, and Matthew L. Hess
Spring is just around the corner—we hope!
This time of year brings important matters like flu season and tax preparation, so we’ve included helpful resources on both topics.
We’re also sharing practical information on how to prepare a “bug out bag”—a go-bag to help you and your family evacuate quickly in case of a disaster.
From fighting off flu bugs to packing survival essentials, we hope you find this issue helpful as we head into the new season.

Got Your Bug Out Bag Packed?
Be prepared to “bug out” in case of an emergency.
A bug out bag is a portable emergency kit, typically packed in a backpack, that contains the items needed for your family to survive for 72 hours.
We’ve compiled a handy list of essentials you should include in your bag.
Beware of These Three Tax Scams
The IRS has issued a warning about three major tax scams that target individuals during tax season:
-
IRS-Impersonation Telephone Scams
-
Email Phishing and Malware Attacks
-
Tax Refund Scam Artists Posing as Taxpayer Advocacy Panel
Make sure you and your loved ones—especially elderly family members—are aware of these scams and know how to avoid them.
Flu Season Peaks in February
Did you know that February is typically the peak month for the flu?
That’s why it’s essential to:
-
Stay alert about flu symptoms
-
Maintain good hygiene habits

Help stop the spread of the virus
The CDC provides valuable tips and charts to help you stay protected during this time.
